The Riad

A traditional Moroccan house, kept simple

Riad Hna Ben Saleh is a restored family house in the Medina of Marrakech. Its plan is the classic riad plan: rooms turned inwards around a courtyard, a staircase to the terrace, and thick walls that keep the heat outside.

    The heart of the house, open to the sky, cool in summer, quiet at every hour.

    Rooftop terrace

    A place for breakfast in the morning light and mint tea as the medina turns gold.

    Steps from Jemaa el-Fna

The Riad

A house arranged around the courtyard

Architecture, Riad Hna Ben Saleh, Marrakech

Architecture

Arched openings, tadelakt lime plaster, cedar woodwork and zellige floors. The proportions are those of an old medina house, and nothing has been added that the house did not already suggest.

The courtyard, Riad Hna Ben Saleh, Marrakech

The courtyard

Open to the sky and planted, the courtyard is where the day starts and ends. It stays cool through the afternoon and quiet long after the square has filled.

Atmosphere, Riad Hna Ben Saleh, Marrakech

Atmosphere

Warm light, low seating, hand-woven textiles and the sound of water. The riad is intimate rather than grand, a private house that receives a few guests at a time.

Hospitality, Riad Hna Ben Saleh, Marrakech

Hospitality

A small team lives the house daily: breakfast, mint tea, advice on the medina, help with taxis and excursions. Ask, and it is usually arranged.
